have returned. They report that great
mauy other places in Texas besides ours
were represented, SO the further points to
be made are rather indefinite. We hope
San Marcos may be one Of the lucky ones
We have been favored by Mr.. H. W.
Speer, secretary of the board of directors OF
Blanco High School, with the catalogue of
that institution, which shows 1t to be in q
healthy and progressive state. 1t is an in
stitution of which Blanoo has great reason
to be proud.
As compared with the past, the saloons
of this place have been on their gooi behavi-
or-one good result of the prohibition agi-
tation. They even closed up on the 4th to
make fair weather and posi- bly, votes. But
as Buck Walton said, just let them win in
the coming election and the monster whom
they serve will soon be found showing his
teeth again.
We learn we we're too previous in pub
fishing last week that the grading of the
railroad to Lockhart was finished. Such is
not the fact. The FREE PRESS is seldom
misled by exaggerated rumors, and values
highly its reputation for truth and varacity'
and SO hastens to make correction. The
road is not likely to be completed to Lock
hart SO soon as is frequently stated. Double
the time given by Madam Rumor and you
will come nearer the mark.
We are willing to concede that prohibition
may have had little or nothing to do with
causing Mr.. Representative McGehee to in
fiuence the advertisement of the amendments
in favor of the Cresset-he was only trifte
unified" OF us, SO as to realize afresh that
the Cresset man was congenial spirit. All
the same, however, that one hundred dol
lars and over paid Hull for said advertising,
went to sustain the anti organ and cause
in this county. There is no lodging that
point.
The Blance Star Vindicator, speaking OF
the fatal fire in johnson City, says:
The fire was located in the drug store of
DR., James Odiorne, which swept the build
ing and its entire contents in few seconds
to the ground. It seems that DR.. Odlorne
and Mr.. w. D. Felps of Miller's creek, were
in the house and DR.. Odorne was drawing
some alcohol from a cask, and the gas from
the liquid ignited from the lamp, which set
a short distance away, and in moment the
whole house was on fire, and MIR. Felps
and DR., Odiorne were utterly covered with
the burning alcohol They managed to get
out of the house. The doctor fingered in
terrible agony until last Tuesday night
about - o'clock, when death relieved his
snfferings. MIR. Felps is very badly burned.
but it is not necessarily fatal.

RAILROAD
Number Of Miles Ut Track Laid During
the Year.


CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The Railway Age Of
yesterday says: During the last few months
the work OF railway building has been going
on In the United States at . rate never befo,c
equasei. The great prosperity Of the country,
and the tendency to migrate into new ard
undeveloped regions, haze encouraged the
great railway companies to push forward gu
enormous amount of new mileage in order to
anticipate OR keep up the similar enterprises
on the part OF their competitors. From jan.
uary I TO November 1, 274 roads have laid o
total OF 0 ,40S miles Of track. More track has
been laid SO far this year than in the year
1856, and 1887 exceeds the record of all other
years in the history of this or any other ccur.
ny. The greatest activity has been exhibited
in . broad belt west Of the Missouri river,
stretching from Dakota and Montana to the
gull. Kansas continues, a. last year, far in
the lead, showing already an addition o. at
least 1,6D0 miles since the year began. Ne.
braska follow next with a report OF S67 miles,
Texas with S34 miles, Colorado with us miles
and Dakota with $50 miles, these four states
and one territory already having added,
4,79s miles of new railways, or more than half
Of the total thus far reported for the entire
country.
